IF YOU DON'T CARE, THEN GO AHEAD... I DID WARN YOU. :P Link [/spoiler] I love how different these games are compared to previous pokemon games. :)

Hmm, I only watched the first 90 seconds or so before I stopped myself.

I can honestly say that i'm gonna love this game so much. :P

Aww man, I can't wait till Spring comes. :D

By then, i'll probably be playing this absolutely awesome game on my totally awesome new 3DS instead of my DS Lite. :D

Low Health Theme

Annoying beeping is awesome now. :D

Gym Leader - Final Pokemon Theme
It reminds me of those epic gym leader fights from the anime. :D

Bicycle Theme
Love it. :)

Surfing Theme
Reminds me of a ship. ^_^

Apparently, the way EXP is given out has been slightly tweaked.

Here's a post that kinda describes it from a GameFAQs thread:

"The amount that you get, yes. If you defeat a lower leveled Pokemon, you'll get less exp than if you defeated it with a Pokemon with the same level as it. Likewise, if you defeat a higher leveled Pokemon, you get more experience.

They used it to up the challenge by making all of the trainers' Pokemon, as well as the wild ones, much higher than they used to. Now, they're usually around your levels, sometimes even higher."

This sounds great to me. It's certainly a lot better for when you've just caught a new Pokemon in an area. It'll be closer to what your current teams level would be and even if it's not, it would be easier to catch up since you're getting more exp fighting the Pokemon in the area that are the same level.

More importantly, this is gonna add a bit more challenge since you won't necessarily be that much higher than the trainers and wild Pokemon. It's really not that fun when your pretty much able to sweep through everything.

don't know if this has beenn posted yet but heres the exclusive list http://img188.imageshack.us/img188/6262/bwversionexclusive.jpg,eggbenedict

Awesome, good thing I chose White.

Update regarding Serebii:

"I have just received notification from Nintendo regarding the Pokémon Black & White games. They have requested that I no longer post images about the games claiming they violate intellectual property. As such, for the time being I have had to remove all images related to the games. Our section will still be massively indepth and I'll continue to cover the games where possible and provide an alternative to the images as and when we can."

Aww, that stinks, he's even removed the sprites on the Pokemon page.

If anyone still wants to admire the new Pokemon, they're still available on Pokebeach's list.

moltenix

Bulbapedia thinks this is relevant to the subject.The whole thing just doesn't make sense.

If it turns out to be true, however, I'll be very mad. :x Actually scratch that, I'm mad either way.

Reshiram/Zekrom's battle theme

What the...? O.o

When did the title of the video change? :?

EDIT: Now its Geechisu's theme instead of Reshiram/Zekrom. Starly396 changed the title to its correct name.

Low Health Theme

Annoying beeping is awesome now. :D

ANIMEguy10034

I may keep my Pokemon on low health on purpose now. :P JK

Also, I was wondering, if we do get to rematch gym leaders how would that work with the first gym leaders? Would we be able to rematch the only one we originally fought or would we be able to challenge the other ones as well?

So, who else is importing the game? We should set up some trades. :P

.....I just found out certain Pokemon can only evolve during certain seasons....:(

sonictrainer

I only saw one. Are there more?

Pretty happy with the new pokemon tbh, not bad considering this is now the 5th gen.

A lot of the pokemon seem to have insane base stats, saw a lot of physical attackers with base attacks of at least 125, gonna be a pretty offensive gen me thinks.

Indeed. And nothing really stood out defensively either.

By the way, Pokejungle now has the sprites in all their intended glory. A lot of RSE sprites got a face lift too, worth a look.

They seemed to redesign old sprites based on who needed it. Venusaur gets a new sprite but Charizard and Blastoise don't. Sadly, none of the fourth geners get a new sprite.

Finally, I have come up with my Pokemon White Team:

Yes, I decided to with White version after all.

I might change out Aakeosu (Rock Bird) but the rest should pretty much be final. Hopefully I can get most of them by mid-game and not like after the 8th gym or something.

Edit* I edited my post because I could've got a warning because quoting more then one image is against the rules here.

I'm probably gonna swap out Aakeosu though, I don't really need another Rock type when I have another Rock and Ground type.

I pretty much just need a decent Pokemon that can learn Fly (since that's the only HM I ever use post-game).

I'm looking at these other three:

I've used the regional bird in almost all my previous games (Pidgeot, Staraptor, Swellow) so I may just use the Pidgeon.

Dark/Dragon might be fun to use though. :P

EDIT: ugh, regional Pidgeon has terrible movepool. Ok then, overpowered Dragon it is! :D

I'm thinking I would use one of these pokemon Wooguru or Barujiina. Because I like the look of them I also like that Barujiina is a Dark/Flying and looks sort've like a Vulture.

Nintendo_Ownes7

I like the Vulture as well, but his stats aren't very offense oriented.

110 HP, 65 Atk, 105 Def, 55 SpAtk, 95 SpDef, 80 Speed

Actually, I think I might just trade someone with Black for Wargle (duh!).

They've gone and improved the online functionality, why not use it? :D

Thanks for sharing your opinion. :)

Anyway, here's the Victini event for you guys: Link.
I guess the event was meant to be activated as soon as you entered Huin city. Everything is soo under-leveled if you wait til post-Elite 4. >_>

There seems to be way too much hate for the new Pokemon from a lot of people.

Oh well, forget everyone else, I know that i'm gonna have the most fun with this generation and that's what matters. :D

All the haters are just gonna be missing out... which is fine by me!

Who's with me?! :D

Cmon, it's not like there won't be any other games to play between now and next spring. :P

Like I mentioned in an earlier post, the 3DS will probably be out before Pokemon BW arrive in the spring. Surely we haven't forgotten about the super awesome 3DS? :P

That being said, i'm absolutely hyped about these games!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Btw, I think i've got my moveset for Jaroda:

Leaf Blade (LevelUp)

Aerial Ace (TM)

Leech Seed (LevelUp)

Swords Dance (TM)

Type coverage isn't very good but he's got a very limited movepool.

I wasn't able to sleep last night I was so excited. >.>; True story. I think I spent 2am-3am looking at the sprite sheets. I don't know how I managed to wait 5 months for D/P. I guess my Poke-addiction wasn't a problem requiring professional help back then.
